POLSCI MAJOR: INDIGENOUS PEOPLE IN POLITICS AND GOVERNANCE

Are the Indigenous people nowadays powerful?


Are the Indigenous People weaker and worse now?
Are they the same as the Indigenous Peoples in Politics and Governance until
now?

Indigenous people presently powerful-


No, Indigenous peoples are often disadvantaged and discriminated against
by the legal systems of nations, making them even more susceptible to
violence and abuse. Indigenous human rights advocates who speak out
suffer state-sponsored intimidation and violence. In addition, individuals
may be physically attacked and killed just for belonging to an Indigenous
people.
Indigenous Peoples' peaceful attempts to protect their cultural identity or
exercise authority over their ancestral territories, which are often rich in
resources and biodiversity, have resulted in charges of treason or terrorism.
Indigenous peoples make up 15% of the world's extreme impoverished due
to discrimination. They also have greater rates of landlessness, hunger, and
internal displacement than other communities worldwide.

Ni weak ba sila karon?


Yes, many of the 110 ethno-linguistic indigenous communities in the
Philippines are subject to discrimination, resource degradation, and violent
conflict. There are significant rates of unemployment, underemployment,
and illiteracy among IP communities, which are often situated in unique
ancestral lands. Indigenous peoples' socioeconomic, cultural, and spiritual
life depend upon their ancestral territories, yet their land ownership is
being diminished and neglected.
Are they the same as before?
The vast majority of indigenous peoples around the globe have maintained
social, cultural, economic, and political traits that are distinctly unique from
those of the rest of the national populations. Throughout human history,
whenever powerful neighboring peoples extended their territory or distant
invaders obtained new areas by force, the customs and livelihoods, and
often the very life, of indigenous peoples were at risk. The challenges to the
traditions and lands of indigenous peoples, as well as their legal rights as
separate groups and citizens, may not necessarily take the same forms as in
the past. Indigenous peoples continue to aggressively seek
acknowledgement of their identities and ways of life throughout the
majority of the globe, notwithstanding the relative success of some groups.
Despite cultural and ethnic variety, there are often startling parallels
between the issues, complaints, and interests of the many indigenous
peoples, as well as their presentations to international forums. These
commonalities have been brought to light by the participation of
indigenous people and groups at United Nations sessions.
